Etymology

[edit]

The root ك ب ب (k-b-b) appears to include various meanings of “rolling over”. But according to Nişanyan, borrowed from Aramaic: compare Jewish Babylonian Aramaic כבבא (kbbʾ, roasting of meat), כיבה (kybʾ, perhaps roasted meat), which are from the verb כבב (kbb, to burn, roast), ultimately from Proto-Semitic *kabab- (to burn, to roast), whence also Akkadian 𒅗𒁀𒁍 (/⁠kabābu⁠/, to burn).
